Nissan is a founding member of a pressure group that aims to speed up the electrification of an integrated transport system across Europe. 

Electric vehicle aficionados are in for a treat at this year's Geneva Motor Show. At the show, which is open to the public March 7-17, you will find the Renault New Kangoo Z.E. and the new Nissan LEAF for the European market.

- Government to invest £37m in EV charging network
- New scheme drops installed home charger cost by 75 per cent
- Government scheme will also boost availability of public chargers
- Scheme announced as Nissan prepares to begin LEAF production at Sunderland

Electric mobility has taken another huge leap forward thanks to significant investment in the UK’s charging network that will make it easier than ever to own and run an electric car.

For Nissan LEAF owners in the Netherlands, charging is about to get faster and easier. Drivers will soon benefit from a new network of 38 electric vehicle quick-charge stations across the country thanks to a partnership between Nissan and The New Motion, a Dutch company that specializes in mobility solutions powered by renewable energy.

Price reduction of €3,000 makes it easier for everyone to join the electric vehicle revolution

Nissan is making zero-emission mobility more affordable by reducing the price of the all-electric Nissan LEAF by €3,000 in European markets. The change comes as part of a global effort to make the LEAF more affordable in the pioneering electric vehicle's three main markets of Japan, Europe and the United States.
 

No-one should doubt Nissan’s commitment to zero emission mobility and to the electric car. That was the message coming loud and clear from Nissan Executive Vice President Andy Palmer at the Paris Motor Show this week.

As he revealed the TeRRA, an advanced fuel cell electric SUV concept, to journalists from all over the world, Palmer forecast that ‘in less than a generation’s time, there will be millions of EVs on the roads.’

As part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, Renault and Nissan work with communities around the world to improve the lives of disadvantaged people. This two-minute video looks at the Alliance’s CSR activities in Brazil, a key market for the auto group.
 
The video was produced in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) for its Responsible Business TV series. The video -- which includes footage of the Alliance’s work with underprivileged children in Brazil -- aired on CNBC in late August.

Did you know that Nissan has the broadest range of any car maker? It was a message that wasn’t lost on the journalists who thronged to the Geneva show press conference to see the unveiling of the zero emission ESFLOW.

In the global auto industry, cooperation on specific projects among automakers is becoming increasingly common.

It is, in fact, a signal of how our industry is evolving to sustain success over the long term – by leveraging size, scale and investments more effectively to create more value.

Great news! The Alliance has two cars, the Nissan Leaf and Dacia Duster, on the shortlist for the 2011 European Car of the Year award.

The shortlist of seven cars has been narrowed down from an initial field of 41 cars and the winner will be announced on November 29.
